Datafrom all 148 cases of oesophageal cancer in Bahrain during 1952-99 were analysed according to patient sex and age and site and histological pattern of tumour, and compared with other Gulf countries. In Bahrain, oesophageal cancer accounted for 2.6% of malignant neoplasms. The female: male ratio was 1.8: 1, and the majority of patients were >/=51 years and </=70 years of age. The lower and upper third of the oesophagus were the most and least frequently involved sites, respectively. Squamous carcinoma [males] and adenocarcinoma [females] were the main histological types. There is varying consistency between these data and those of other Gulf countries having similar anthropological and demographic profiles. A prospective study may help to better underst and the aetiology of the disease and inform preventive policies

A Prospective Study

Background: Chronic anal fissure is a familiar entity in surgical outdoor departments of hospitals in our valley. The muslim women are usually reluctant to expose their anal canal related pathologies to male surgeons, letting anal fissures to reach the chronic stage. Under this background, the present study was conducted to look for the feasibility of lateral anal sphincterotomy in the management of chronic anal fissure in our patients.Methods: This prospective study was carried out over a period of 3 years in the unit 2nd of department of surgery at SMHS (Shri Maharaja Harisingh) hospital, an associated hospital of Government Medical College Srinagar. During this period, 59 patients presented to the outpatient department with typical chronic anal fissures and were included in this study.Results: Fifty-nine patients, diagnosed on clinical evaluation as chronic anal fissure were included in this study. The age varied from 19 to 58 years with mean age of 36.38±7.14 (SD= 7.14) years. There was a female predominance, with a female to male ratio of 2.1:1. Fifty-two (88.1%) patients had posterior midline fissure and 7 (11.8%) patients had an anterior anal fissure. Thirty-one patients were not satisfied with the conservative treatment and insisted for surgical management. All 31 patients were managed by open lateral anal sphincterotomy.Conclusions: Lateral anal sphincterotomy (LAS) is a safe and effective method of management for chronic refractory anal fissures. The complications are minimal and negligible.

A Prospective Study

Aim of the research was to study the features of the structure of postoperative cerebral dysfunction, establishing the risk factors for the development of postoperative cerebral dysfunction and for the each of the clinical types during operations for malignant neoplasms of the chest and abdomen. The study was conducted in 2 stages: a retrospective study based on medical records and a prospective study. In a retrospective study by the method of directed selection from 93,129 clinical cases of patients, 47 cases of patients with acute stroke after surgery were selected. In prospective study, 102 patients (69 men, 33 women) aged 38 to 85 years were examined, the median age was 67 years. They were divided into two study groups: thoracic, abdominal. In a retrospective study, the incidence of perioperative stroke was 0.05%. In a prospective study of surgical operations for malignant neoplasms of the chest and abdomen, the incidence of postoperative cerebral dysfunction was 34%, perioperative stroke 2%, symptomatic delirium of the early postoperative period 11%, deferred cognitive impairment 31%. Statistical processing of the prospective study data revealed 10 risk factors for postoperative cerebral dysfunction, 12 risk factors for perioperative stroke, 7 risk factors for symptomatic delirium of the early postoperative period, and 6 risk factors for deferred cognitive impairment. For each of the clinical types of postoperative cerebral dysfunction the Charlson comorbidity index has a significant predictive value, and therefore it seems appropriate to include this parameter in the preoperative examination algorithm (3 tables, bibliography: 8 refs)

A Prospective Study

Background: Acute pancreatitis remains a common disorder with devastating consequences. Although most episodes are mild and self-limiting, upto a fifth of patients develop a severe attack that can be fatal. Inspite of technical advances in medical and surgical fields acute pancreatitis remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality. So, we have studied the clinical profile and management of acute pancreatitis. Aims and objectives were to study the clinical presentation, complications and treatment modalities of acute pancreatitis that can be offered in our institution and the outcome.Methods: This prospective study was conducted between November 2018 to October 2020 on patients admitted to Department of Surgery, Adichunchanagiri Institute of Medical Sciences, B. G. Nagara, Mandya. 50 patients with acute pancreatitis were enrolled for the study.Results: Study included 50 patients with acute pancreatitis, 40 males and 10 females. The peak incidence was in the fourth decade with the median age of 35 years. The commonest etiology was alcohol consumption accounted for 72% of cases followed by gall stones (12%), idiopathic (8%) and others (8%).Conclusions: Acute pancreatitis was found to be in a younger age group. Serum amylase and lipase should be used for diagnosis wherever possible. Scoring systems help to identify patients who are more likely to have a severe attack and they should be referred to higher centers if adequate facilities are not available. Severe cases should be managed in well-equipped ICU. Timely intervention by endoscopist and surgeons are crucial to reduce morbidity and mortality.
